This flight will close also an important, if not THE most important, chapter of Dutch aviation so far. Anthony Fokker was one of the wonder-boys of the early days of aviation and it built what became a proper industrial symbol of the Netherlands.

Unfortunately no more Fokker aircraft are being built, since the aircraft manufacturer went bankrupt some twenty years ago (although there is still an aviation services firm that carries its name).

In any case, Fokker enthusiasts out there will be glad to know that KLM is planning a whole photo and video session with the last of the type and a book celebrating the history of Fokker will be produced as well.
